Weekend Hogs

Well my good friend Rob got with me and we went after some hogs this weekend. Saturday, we got on some hogs pretty quickly but could never see them in the brush. About 30 minutes later we got onto some more and closed within 10yds and watched them root. We could've easily shot a couple of the 30-40lb'ers , but heard bigger ones so we waited. I think the wind shifted because they ended up letting out some growling bellows took off. We then split up and I ended up walking up on a lone boar at about 35-40yds and I let him have a taste of the .50 muzzleloader, he ran 15-20yds and piled up. We didn't have anymore luck that evening. Sunday, we did some more walking in the same spot but never had any luck so we went about a mile down the road. I dropped Rob off and went to meet our other buddy Mike. Rob called me to tell me that he had downed a sow and to come get him. So me and Mike met up with Rob. We sat around and talked a bit and then went to check a spot I like checking just before dark. Sure as can be, there is a lone boar standing there, so I get my muzzleloader to Mike but he can't get a shot off before the hog bolts. Anyways, it was a great weekend despite the pressure out there!
